RE: [U2] [UV] Phantom Limits
I was under the impression that the number of phantoms is limited to the licensed number of users less the number of users on the system. In other words, each phantom used a license. Am I out incorrect? Tom Dodds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In my experience, which is at UV 10.0.x some years back, the limit is not system wide, but was imposed at the host process level. The limit I found was 50 phantoms per host process so if you needed to have more than 50 phantoms running you needed to start multiple host process to spawn a set number of processes. I was never able to find a tunable parameter to modify the limit.

Re: [U2] test
U.S. holiday. It originated in the autumn of 1621 when Plymouth governor William Bradford /needmore invited neighbouring Indians to join the Pilgrims for a three-day festival of recreation and feasting in gratitude for the bounty of the season, which had been partly enabled by the Indians' advice. Neither the standard Thanksgiving meal of turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie nor the family orientation of the day reflects the Plymouth event, however. Proclaimed a national holiday in 1863, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November (though it was moved back one week in 193941 to extend the Christmas shopping season). Canada adopted Thanksgiving as a national holiday in 1879; since 1957 it has been celebrated on the second Monday in October. http://www.britannica.com/ The above article does not mention that several US Presidents proclaimed a day of thanksgiving for Divine providence but not an official holiday. Pres. Lincoln, during the U.S. Civil War, was the last to do so and it became a national holiday. Pres. Washington was the first to declare a day of thanksgiving. Pres. F.D. Roosevelt shifted the day as mentioned but it was unpopular and shifted back. Roosevelt temporarily fell out of favor for tampering with what had become a sacred icon of tradition. In the U.S., this is the most traveled week of the year as familys join together to enjoy the feast and reunion. The day after Thanksgiving is shopping hell!

The only problem with this forum is the over response and analysis when a simple solution is wanted.

Re: [U2] [UD] running a subroutine
Criticisms for Mark:
Your concept won't work if there are commons that need to be set in the
calling program. However, with the use of named commons they can be set
in a test program and then use your print which includes the $INCLUDE
file named.commons in the command line. (For those who don't know,
named commons remain in memory between programs and can be used again
until you logout.)

Re: [U2] [UD] running a subroutine
One more possible solution:
This discussion intrigued me so I thought I'd give it a try for my
situation. I usually write subroutines with the first variable being
the 'RESULT; that way the sub can be used as an I-DESC or or used with
an ITYPE in a program as well as a CALL. I gave this a quick test and
seems to work quite well. Give it a try.

Re: [U2] [UV] Max Files Per Directory
A friend of mine, Simon Shapiro, has worked for years with the Unix kernel to overcome the limitations of the sequential search in Unix directories. He has created a b-tree index as the directory built into the kernel capable of millions of entries with instantaneous access to any of them. This would have been great for UniVerse as a type 19 file or UniData DIR file. Unfortunately his health is failing and this research project which he hoped to market is dieing with him. Anybody interested in picking it up? Scott Richardson wrote: Stephen hit the nail on the head with the number I have always heard when talking about optimal I/O threshold target limits for Unix file systems. Many years of benchmarking large SMP UNIX architectures and applications on those seem to confirm those numbers as well. I'd be willing to say the same about Windows, as a general rule, and because it simply makes good sense. Combine file system fragmentation issues, with a little bit too much indirection, inflicted by huge directories with lots of files, bits and pieces, and you've got less than desirable I/O performance. - Original Message - From: Stephen O'Neal [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 11:38 AM Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Max Files Per Directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've heard some discussions in the past regarding limiting the number of files per directory to help OPEN performance. Does anyone have any real-world experience on what a reasonable limit might be on a *nix file system? This topic was presented on this at the DM Technical Users Conference. Our experience shows that it effects the length of time it takes to open a file. The reason is the length of time it takes to traverse the directory table to find the file. Literally, we have seen directories (accounts) with upwards of 4,000 files dictionaries! We saw improvement in speed when reduced to the 1,000 entry range. But this is pail in comparison to keeping files opened thru labeled common. We HIGHLY recommend holding files open in common! FYI, Steve Stephen M.

RE: [U2] UV: FMT and FMTS processing of CHAR(247) differs
The functions that deal with delimeters are RAISE and LOWER. The UniVerse defined delimiters are from 255 to 248.

It appears to be wrong if source data in a field of the array contains CHAR(247). If you look at the DOCs for REMOVE (for example), it indicates that the lowest system delimiter is CHAR(248), and that is true with REMOVE. However, I've noticed that some of the functions like FMTS() and FIELDS() also consider CHAR(247) to be a system delimiter. Experimentation has shown me that CHAR(246) and below are safe to use.

Re: [U2] [UV] Phantom Problem
I have a similar process. The spawning process clears a control record, spawns the phantoms, and checks the control record at a fixed interval. Each spawned phantom reports to the control record when it is finished. When the spawning phantom has the results from all the spawned phantoms, it emails me a message and stops.

Re: [U2] How big is BIG for Linux
We have 601 licenses of 10.1.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 1) Kernel 2.4.21-9.ELsmp on an i686 (Dell 2600 with 2 multi-threading processors and 6G memory.). Memory is crucial for best performance. The most users at any one time has been 290. Performance smokes (highly technical term). We moved from an HPUX 10.0 and got 3x the disk io and 10x the cpu crunches. Our day end runs 3x faster (disk io bound). We've been running since conversion with no down time for 4 weeks. Another benefit is considerable less cost, maintenance, and support expense. uptime load averages are higher but we believe that is because of the multi-threading pushing the io faster than the io can happen and processes get stacked up in memory. It causes no ill effects and just something to get use to. We've had it as high as 40+ and it clears up in a short time with no noticeable performance hit to the users. The HP would have died long before getting that high.
